I noticed this plugin caused longer loading times on my site. According to pingdom
tools, FB Messenger created 33 more requests and my front page size increased by
500kb. I don’t need the plugin functionalities enough to compensate for this increase
in loading times. Furthermore the plugin hasn’t been updated and it forces users
to leave the website in order to continue chatting.

Forces end user to leave your website and go to messenger to continue chat… defeats
the entire purpose. – also icon appears in weird place and doesn’t seem to be a 
configurable way to fix. – Good potential here, but basically useless in current
state.

doesnt work, it force you to open the facebook to continue the conversation, i mean,
its pretty useless, also doesnt work well if you have adguard extension installed,
pretty much limited and uselesss, it works, but doesnt fulfill the expectation, 
thats the problem.

### 󠀁[The easiest FB Messenger plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-easiest-fb-messenger-plugin/)󠁿

This is my favourite plugin to use for FB Messenger / Live Chat. Simple to integrate
for clients, no need for app ID or user login, just use their Page Name. Easily 
customisable / replacement button using own HTML/CSS. Easy to launch the modal window
from links anywhere on the page. If the plugin is not working for you, check your
AdBlock / Content Blockers, as this is the only thing I have found stopping it from
working.

This addon does not currently integrate with Facebook even with the twenty-fifteen
theme. If you are logged into Facebook and have chat messaging enabled, you will
be prompted to login over and over again. The icon is incredibly small and you cannot
move it anywhere you want. It doesn’t look like this addon has been updated to be
compatible with 4.8 as it’s showing me it’s outdated. This addon may have potential
one day, but for now I would not recommend using it.
